Why is it important?
The piece dissects the criminal habitus into conative, cognitive and affective components. For the first time, it applies the dispositional theory of action into the formative principles of occupational crime in theft. Also it takes the first step to disentangle the formation of criminal habitus in Turkey.
Perspectives
